[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe jacking method tunnel construction, in particular to a launching structure of a large-section earth pressure balance pipe jacking machine in a water-rich sand layer. Background Technique

[0002] The pipe jacking method is a trenchless construction method, which has the advantages of fast construction speed, high construction efficiency and little construction impact. It is widely used in the construction of tunnels or underground passages crossing various obstacles such as railways, roads, rivers or buildings, such as subway station entrances, underground pedestrian passages, underground vehicle passages, underground utility tunnels, etc.

[0003] In order to ensure the safety during pipe jacking launching, reinforcement construction is usually carried out in the launching section. When a large-section pipe jacking machine launches under a water-rich sand layer, due to the strong water permeability of the formation and the fluidity of the sand layer, the conventional reinforcement methods may not have good effects. Moreover, due to the large space of the shell of the large-section pipe jacking machine, it is difficult to ensure the sealing effect of the portal, which is easy to cause water leakage and sand gushing phenomena. In severe cases, it may lead to ground settlement or collapse, greatly affecting the construction safety. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed Implementation Modes

[0015] The following further describes the utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments and the drawings.

[0016] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, a starting structure of a large-section earth pressure balance pipe jacking machine 8 in a water-rich sand layer includes a portal 1, a structural side wall 2, a retaining structure 3, a short steel cylinder 4, an end reinforcement body 5, a steel sheet pile curtain 6 and a portal sealing curtain cloth 7.

[0017] The portal 1 is reserved on the structural side wall 2 during the construction of the working shaft, and the retaining structure 3 is arranged on the back side of the structural side wall 2.

[0018] The short steel cylinder 4 is a cylinder structure made of steel plates and sections, which is penetrated through the portal 1 and the retaining structure 3 and arranged in a circle along the circumference of the opening of the portal 1. Two sealing brushes 41 are welded inside the short steel cylinder 4. Each sealing brush 41 is arranged in a circle along the inner wall of the short steel cylinder 4. A cavity is formed between the two sealing brushes 41, and sealing grease is injected into the cavity to isolate sand and water in front of the starting cutterhead. Through the short steel cylinder 4 and the two sealing brushes 41 inside the short steel cylinder 4, the sealing and water-stopping performance of the portal 1 is improved, and the risk of water and sand gushing can be effectively avoided. In other embodiments, the number of the sealing brushes 41 can also be set to more than two.

[0019] The end reinforcement 5 is arranged on the back side of the retaining structure 3. The end reinforcement 5 is formed by grouting and reinforcing the soil with double-tube jet grouting piles. The longitudinal reinforcement length of the end reinforcement 5 is 0.4 - 1 m, the transverse reinforcement length extends 2 - 3 m outside the pipe jacking contour line, and the bottom of the jet grouting pile is at least 2 m lower than the bottom surface of the channel.

[0020] The steel sheet pile curtain 6 is arranged on the back side of the end reinforcement 5. The steel sheet pile curtain 6 is composed of multiple steel sheet piles, and the multiple steel sheet piles are arranged in a U-shaped structure along the outer contour line of the end reinforcement 5. By combining the steel sheet pile curtain 6 with the end reinforcement 5, the permeability of the formation and the flow of sand and water are reduced, and the role of isolating sand and water is played during the end reinforcement and the initial excavation of the pipe jacking.

[0021] The portal sealing curtain 7 is arranged on the portal 1. The portal sealing curtain 7 includes a circular ring fixing plate 71 and a rubber curtain plate 72. The circular ring fixing plate 71 fixes the rubber curtain plate 72 on the portal 1. The rubber curtain plate 72 is arranged in a circle along the portal 1 and faces the pipe jacking machine 8, playing a role in sealing and water stopping.

[0022] During the construction of the above structure, the steel sheet pile curtain 6 is constructed first, and after the construction of the steel sheet pile curtain 6 is completed, the end reinforcement 5 is constructed. After the construction of the steel sheet pile curtain 6 and the end reinforcement 5 is completed, the pipe jacking machine 8 is lowered into the well for assembly and debugging, and then the portal sealing curtain 7 is installed on the portal 1. Then, the retaining structure 3 within the range of the portal 1 is demolished section by section, and the short steel cylinder 4 is installed inside the portal 1. After the inspection and confirmation of the end reinforcement effect and the preparatory work, the pipe jacking machine 8 starts. After the pipe jacking machine 8 starts and the shell enters the portal 1, the portal sealing curtain 7 and the sealing brushes 41 inside the short steel cylinder 4 wrap the shell of the pipe jacking machine tightly. Before the pipe jacking machine 8 reaches the steel sheet pile curtain 6, the steel sheet piles of the steel sheet pile curtain 6 need to be pulled out. After the last steel sheet pile is pulled out, through the two sealing settings of the sealing brushes 41 and the portal sealing curtain 7, and the set initial excavation parameters of the pipe jacking machine 8, the smooth start of the large-section pipe jacking machine 8 in the water-rich sand layer is realized.
